Surpassing its predecessor and any competition by over 2X margin, A6 reaches a spectacular 1.23Gh/s (+/- 8%), with 1500W (+/- 8% @25℃) at the wall. With its built in voltage and temperature sensor in each ASIC for automatic protection purpose, its quality and reliability have been greatly improved. The demo is as shown the product video below. :D

At 1.2Gh/s, 1500W and $6300, seems like it's going to take half a year to break even.

2 x L3+ put together for more than double.  While I like the product, I just think its priced too high.  And 50 units is a bit crazy.  I did think about buying and selling on ebay I must admit  :P

Already created a thread about this days ago over here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2700393.msg27610214#msg27610214 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2700393.msg27610214#msg27610214)

Can see our thoughts and views in there.

Thanks for your feedback.  :D

Yeah Sure.. How about delivering A4+ which i have pre-ordered and paid on June?

Yeah, I'd like to have my A4+ order delivered too..

Thanks for your support. Could you please give your order ID to me? We can check with A4+ team. Many thanks.

Thanks for your support. Could you please provide your order ID to me? Many thanks.

I will PM you the Order ID. Thanks

minimum order is 50 units....fair to say its aimed at resellers and warehouse operators, stupid ones at that, given its price level


superglue two L3+ together, you're over 1GH , and that'll cost you $3000

LTC founder Charlie tweets that the A6 is the most efficient LTC miner today!

The text of twitter is as follows.
Thanks to @Inno_Miner for gifting a new A6 miner to @LTCFoundation! It’s the most efficient LTC miner today: 1.23GH/s@1500W http://www.innosilicon.com/html/news/20.html


Thanks Charlie. A6 is the world first GH LTC miner to support ltc community. Innosilicon is happy to offer best mining competitive advantage, fabulous resell values, lower operating cost, higher ROI and longevity in all conditions.

Was looking at the A6 earlier today.  While every other LTC miner is preorder sold out witin minutes,,, this one sits on the shelf and is still available. Anyone who makes a simple calculation of $price/mhs quickly figures that A6 is almost double the $price/mhs of the industry leader L3+.   This does not even look like an attempt to compete.

Innosilicon, the leader of mining ASIC manufacter, will recruit some distributors

Innosilicon, the worldwide leader of cryptocurrency mining ASIC manufacter, have launched A4 LTC Dominator, A4+ LTCMaster, A5 DashMaster and A6 LTCMaster, which all take a very strong leadership role in corresponding field. Take dash project for example; it is 3 times better than other dash miners. When A6 LTCMaster is a nnounced, it is  the World first GH LTC Miner. Innosilicon is happy to offer best mining competitive advantage, fabulous resell values, lower operating cost, higher ROI and longevity in all conditions.

In the past few years, Innosilicon’s miner business has made rapid progress with many thanks to all the love and support from our customers!

Dear Customers,

A lot of trials and customer feedback shows that putting the chip and heat sink of the miner upwards as shown below (Face to the control board, turn the miner 90 degrees to the left) can make the actual temperature of the miner lower, which will contribute to miner’s longevity and stability. Therefore, INNOSILICON sincerely recommends that you can place the miners as shown below for more benefits.  :)

Innosilicon is a professional ASIC R&D manufacturer with products covering multiple fields. Innosilicon's miners with 28-nanometer Bitcoin chip and Litecoin chip were the first to circulate in China and dominate the domestic mainstream market.

Innosilicon's latest generation of A6 LTCMaster was released in early January 2018. The A6 LTCMaster is suitable for all digital currency mining based on Litecoin algorithm (Scrypt encryption algorithm). The official parameters are: 1.23Gh/s (+/- 8%), power consumption 1500W (+/- 8% @ 25°C)

Following comes the newest evaluation from Cybtc.

1. Exposure inside of the box

Innosilicon A6 miner adopts five layers of industrial carton package，on which there are completed logistics warehousing graphics logo, product bar code and brand logo. Miner encapsulated with Expanded Polyethylene Foam and moisture barrier bag, which guarantee transport safety effectively.

2. Assemble

The power supply used for this test was a 1800W dedicated miner power supply with 18 PCI-E 6-pin power cables.

Innosilicon A6 is very simple to install. Plug power cord to hashrate plate.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115030nk09zvxipllxtlxr.jpg

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115031vjcjy6ehuh2mvjze.jpg

Contact the controller to the power supply.

Then plug network wire.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115033flegpe7lbj42lkfj.jpg

This is the final wiring diagram of the miner.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115034uo1zyggogzs471zf.jpg

After the power supply is turned on, the default IP address of the miner is 192.168.1.254, and the network segment is 192.168.1.*. If the route is not the 1 network segment, it must first be changed to the 1 network segment. And then turn on the miner.
（The information about the miner IP address can refer to this post https://www.cybtc.com/thread-9843-1-1.html）

After booting, browser will open miner IP to get in, and then get into miner’s backstage. The background is the English interface. The following is a brief translation.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115034j7epsup0sp1s7yhx.jpg

Then set up the miner pool. Click Config in the lower right corner of the miner general configuration page. Note that this process takes several tens of seconds.

3.Test

Room noise of this test is about 40dBa. Indoor temperature is about 15 degrees on daylight, and about 8 degrees at night.

The average hashrate is between 1.2G-1.25G during the long time running. Hashrate curve is stable without large fluctuations.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115049zq743zbrb4vfwzrh.jpg

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115051gchbhd3fy3ybhuha.jpg

Measured power consumption is around 1535w.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115053wsc80c0tsvg737e4.jpg

As for overclocking test, like modifying the pool settings, firstly you need to login in.

Then choose the overclock.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115058bczahs44c9lqgcqc.jpg

The average hashrate is about 1.29G.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115100u8naqeak2ar9nvns.jpg

Power efficiency is about 1738w.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115102endjdabn9u0a8x8r.jpg

Operation on overclocking miner: the frequency is currently only two built-in types, which are the default and overclock. Because the voltage depends on the power and the miner features, you need to adjust it until the operation is getting stable.

You can also set automatic adjustment.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115104u7azpe4qfb7kfy79.jpg

For noise part, when the speed of miner background fan is about 70% at daylight under the normal operation, noise is about 84.7dBa with spacing 20cm from the miner.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115106mdgy7aoad35dd77g.jpg

Noise is about 75.5dBa with spacing 1m from the miner.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115108mblmf51ngwbkrkbr.jpg

For temperature, the temperature of miner hashrate plate is about 39 degrees and temperature of air inlet is 19.9 degrees.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115110p9gac2hj4adfaej4.jpg

Temperature of air outlet is 23 degrees.

http://www.cybtc.org/data/attachment/portal/201803/19/115112jfm8bmmlcppzmqc8.jpg

4.Summary

1) Innosilicon A6 LTCMaster operation is stable, and the measured average hashrate is between 1.2-1.25G. The power is about 1535W, roughly the same as the official nominal.

2) Innosilicon A6 LTCMaster is applicable to all kinds of encryptcurrency using Scrypt algorithm.

3) The noise performance is slightly higher. This is also a common phenomenon in the current miner with high hashrate.

4) With double fan cooling, A6 LTCMaster has a good heat dissipation. There is little temperature difference in front and in back of the miner.

5) There is a certain overclocking space.

6) The operation is simple and quick. Running stability, compact structure are suitable for many mining scenarios.
